"These two authors are always worth reading for their breadth and
originality. Their new book offers a timely and stimulating
analysis of modern children's services" David Berridge, Professor
of Child and Family Welfare, University of Bristol "Clear yet
thorough; practical yet politically insightful; complicated yet
coherent ... this book will appeal to those who want to get an
overview of the territory, but also to those who wish to drill down
deeper and understand the theoretical underpinning of government
policies" Martin C Calder, Honorary Research Fellow, Sheffield
Hallam Univeristy This is the first book to provide a comprehensive
overview and critical analysis of children's social care in England
following the introduction of Every Child Matters and the 2007
Children's Plan. Up-to-date and accessible, the book examines the
key issues surrounding child care policy, politics and legislation,
and the implications they have for practice. The book is organised
into three sections: - From Children's Departments to Departments
of Children's Services analyses the historical and political
changes in the children's service since 1948. - Different Service
Areas provides a critical review of the main service areas,
including safeguarding and child protection. - Current Issues and
Future Prospects considers the main challenges and future prospects
for children's social care. Essential reading for those studying
child social care on programmes in social work, childhood studies
and social policy, the book will also interest postgraduates and
practitioners in child care.
